Covering 500 million people

Most of whom cannot afford a pot to piss in. Although I am surprised to see Japan in the mix. We start a tariff on car parts and they will sing a different tune.

What would you expect from the anti-American rag? These aholes would side with non-Americans more than their own country. I trust Trump when he states we will win a trade war. Just bring it b*tches

Your globalist free traitor zealotry is well noted.

America has been doing exactly what you stand for on trade for decades, putting our nation in very grave danger regarding China and the PLA.

Your business as usual is suicide.

Go peddle it over at DU.

“”””Picking a fight with the wrong guy.”””

President Trump WANTS a fight. He thrives on it. At heart he is a street fighter. He will win this one.

Its an effective pitch for tariffs.

Screw 'em!

Let's talk when America gets a better deal. The "free" trade and "deals" should not mean the USA gets the short end EVERY time.

If the original TPP dealt STRICTLY WITH TRADE, I would have supported it, but it did not. It had a provision that could override our immigration laws, and it also had some environ-MENTAL gobbledygook in it, if I remember correctly. I was basically an international big-government pact.

Only 4 or 5 of the TPP’s provisions (I believe there were over a dozen) dealt with actual trade.

Bottom line, we need to be able to manufacture steel and aluminum if we ever had a war, it’s for national security.

If we become the chief oil exporter, we will have dominance in the world with that resource. Buh-bye, OPEC!
